4skers89 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm not calling anyone a liar, but I will admit that I am cynical. My best friend is a personal trainer. 6'0" 187 pounds and just plain YOKED. He played baseball and basketball in college, his dad played for the Cubs, and his younger brother won the Decathlon at the KU Relays. Just a freak athletic family. I just text him and asked him what he would put up on combine bench. He replied 10-12. 12 would put his calculated 1RM at 325. This is why I'm cynical. For example, Creighton Duke's 13 is a calculated 1RM of 338. At 164.8 pounds, that is more than 2X his body weight. If some of these numbers are truthful, I am VERY impressed, so take that as a compliment. Thank you, although, to be honest, I don't put much stock in the calculated maxes based off of repetitions. My max is closer to 290-300; I have much better muscle endurance than I do overall strength (it is this way for most lifts). It's almost like a guy who runs a 4 minute mile calculating to run the 100m in 9 seconds. This is amazing. For a body weight of 165 you are categorized as "Elite" if your 1 RM is 319 in the bench. Less then 1% of the population are "Elite". You must be a competitive powerlifter. What are your 1 RM for Shoulder Press, Squat and Deadlift? I have those charts also. Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Well my misprint of my friends max bench was on me! However the most important stats were my own as pertaining to this board and I don't believe my numbers are too difficult to believe! I am a pu&&y when it comes to lifting. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, this chart has been discussed before. And I didn't say my max was 319. It is probably significantly lower than that. My press max is 165, but my other numbers are significantly less impressive. As I said, PC at 230 (not advanced) un-belted squat is about 290-300 (pathetic that it's about the same as bench) and un-belted deadlift is 380 (again, not that impressive). I did compete in powerlifting in my past. There were MANY much stronger than me. Quote Link to comment
husker07 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Postition: WR/DB College: More than one Height: 5'8" Weight: 180 lbs Reps at 225: Probably 1, don't lift upper body at all anymore, mostly olympic lifting and plyos. Personal best was about 12 my freshmen year of college Vertical: 38" (standing) 42" (two step) I can sky. Been working on my two hand dunks Broad Jump: 9'7" Just did it the other night actually because the combine was on. Pretty close to my personal best. 40 yard dash: Probably between 4.6 and 4.7 now. Used to be consistently timed in the high 4.4s low 4.5s (handheld) when I was still playing ball. Ran an electronic 4.7 as a frosh a few weeks after a ruptured appendix. Pro Agility: 3.88 Actually set the position record as a freshmen at the college I played at. Didn't mean much, as I got hurt and transferred out shortly after. BS Meter: 0 Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 What else would it mean? It could mean a 100 pound Flinstone's axle with 62.5 pound wheels on each side. Quote Link to comment
husker07 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 While I can certainly understand a lot of people's cynicism over others testing numbers, if any posters are are former/current college athletes, especially young ones, most of the numbers posted are that crazy. Here is an example of testing numbers from the lowly UNK football team. While the 40's would certainly be slower at the NFL combine, these tests were conducted by a certified strength coach. http://www.kearneyhub.com/sports/local/loper-football-players-test-out/article_eef7474e-a6e7-11df-958b-001cc4c002e0.html Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 God, I should start a thread on ACT scores and IQ scores next, this is getting freaking amazing! Seriously, it is an anoynomous post board, its okay if you 40 is over 5 and if you are not repping 225 13 times. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Did 17 reps at 225 this morning. Pretty pleased with that. I don't even want to know my 40 time. Probably somewhere in the high 7s with a stiff wind at my back. Height - 6'3 Weight - 311 Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Sr Yr HS/Current Ht. 6'2/6'2 Wt. 225/250 Vert. 27"/24" 225 reps 15/20 40yd 4.85/most recent being 1 yr ago 5.01 however I bulked up to 270 to get to playing weight. I would still venture close to that most likely slower as I have not trained for the 40 for a year plus now. So 5.2ish Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Height: 6'8" Weight: 375 Reps at 225: 63 40: 4.21 Bill Brasky, is that you? Quote Link to comment
Creighton Duke Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Finished up with the 40 today. Best of two was 4.89 (4.97 on the first one, bad start) which was about what I expected, albeit, not spectacular. Good enough on BP and 40 to win both of my bets, though. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'm pretty sure my 40 is 8 seconds. I had it timed about a year ago. I'm like a cheetah with 1 leg. Quote Link to comment
